Jack: Relax. Relax, Jennifer. You did -- you did
great. It's going to be okay. No. I can do it, and I will. I will help you,
Jennifer.

Eliana: Good morning.

Lexie: Good morning.

Eliana: How are you feeling?

Lexie: I'm okay. More flowers, huh?

Eliana: From your Father, of course.

Lexie: Hmm. Eliana, you really didn't have to
come.

Eliana: No, Mr. DiMera insisted. He knows how
busy your husband is with the investigation of that missing baby. He didn't want
you to be alone. Ha.

Lexie: What?

Eliana: Oh, well, it's just that I have never
seen Mr. DiMera so concerned about anyone. He really loves you.

Brandon: Oh, man, how do I compete with all this?

Lexie: Oh, Brandon, how sweet. Oh, um, do you
know Eliana? She works for my Father. Eliana, Brandon walker.

Brandon: Pleasure to meet you.

Eliana: How do you do? I'll get a little vase for
these.

Brandon: Oh, thank you.

Lexie: I'm glad you're here.

Brandon: What's going on?

Lexie: We have to talk. There could be problems,
very serious problems.

John: You listen up. This baby story is
off-limits to the media. We're going to hold it until we give the go-ahead. Now,
if I made a mistake by shooting my mouth off here, and you decide to release it,
you and your newspaper are going to be sincerely sorry. Do you understand me?

Barb: Look, um, I am not a reporter, I swear, and
I won't say anything to anyone, I promise.

[Baby cries]

John: Oh, my God.

Barb: Hey, I wish you and your friends luck in,
uh, finding that kid, and thanks for all that info on the bridge and the baby
and all.

John: Bo! [Whistles] Hope!

Hope: Bo, listen.

Bo: What?

Hope: Do you hear that crying? Do you hear that
baby? It's J.T., I know it. Bo, it's him. I know it. It's him. I know his
crying. I know that's our baby. Someone has found him and brought him back to
us. I know it. Oh, thank God. Thank you, God.

Glen: Hey, little guy. Take it easy now, huh?
There's no need to cry. Got to be cool, okay? Otherwise they're going to come
and take you away from your Faddy. We both don't want that to happen, do we,
hmm?

Alice: Darling, there is some news.

Jennifer: Tell me, Gram.

Alice: Well, I spoke to Hope, and she said there
has been no trace of the baby. No one has seen him, but someone must have picked
him up.

Jennifer: No, Gram, that doesn't make any sense.
I-I saw him fall. There's no way he could have survived that.

Alice: Well, miracles do happen, and that little
boy has already proved that he's a survivor.

Jennifer: After everything Hope has been through,
to lose the baby like this. She must hate me, Gram.

Alice: Oh, darling, no. She loves you, and she's
so happy that you're all right.

Jennifer: Well, it's because of Jack that I知
okay. He was so brave, and he was so strong.

Alice: He was there when it counted.

Jennifer: Yeah, he was, and he kept me calm, and
he kept me focused, and -- I mean, Gram, he actually held down the back of this
car and kept it from falling over while I was climbing into the back seat. And
then he told me to jump, and I would have never had the courage to do that if he
hadn't been there. And then with the paramedics, you know, he made sure that I
took these pills so that I could just go to sleep. He saved my life, Gram.

Alice: So it's a blessing, isn't it, that you and
Jack are living together? So he can help you, he can be there for you when you
need him.

Hope: Bo, it was him. I know it. I know it was
J.T.

Bo: Hope, hold on a second.

Hope: Bo, I知 telling you, I know I heard him
crying. I know it was J.T. Come on!

Bo: Okay. All right.

Barb: Oh, my gosh, is he okay? What is going on?
I heard the baby crying.

Glen: He's okay now. He's just sitting in his car
seat. He's a good-looking little boy, isn't he? Likes being out here in the
country, just like his Daddy.

Barb: What are you talking about -- the country?
We're not on vacation here.

Glen: Shh. You're going to upset him.

Barb: Glen, listen to me. There are cops
everywhere. Now, we've got get out of here, give this kid back, something.

Glen: Like I told you before, we are not giving
him back.

Barb: Okay, fine. Then let's just get out of
here. Get in the car, okay?

Glen: You said you ran into some cops?

Barb: Yes.

John: Hey, hey, hold on. Not so fast.

Mr. Woods: Sit down, Mr. Brady, or you know
what's next.

Shawn-D: You know what, Mr. Woods? I don't give a
damn what's next.

Students: Ooh.

Belle: Mr. Woods, Shawn is --

Mr. Woods: Shawn is not a subject for discussion
now. Let's talk about 40 acres and a mule.

Belle: You know about the explosion at the
bridge? There was a car crash, and J.T., Shawn's little Brother, was inside. The
door was thrown open, and his brother fell into the river. They still haven't
found him.

Mr. Woods: Well, that explains his behavior, but
this situation still has to be dealt with.

Lexie: Look, um, I may have gotten you involved
in something that could be very dangerous.

Brandon: It's cool. I can handle it.

Lexie: Brandon, I am talking life-and-death
dangerous.

Brandon: Good. Makes things more interesting.

Lexie: How do I make you understand how serious
this is?

Brandon: Are you that worried about me?

Lexie: Yes, with good reason, and it's all my
fault for getting you involved in this, for asking you to switch those DNA
samples.

Brandon: Look, Lexie, you didn't ask me to switch
J.T.'s DNA sample with Isaac's. I did that on my own.

Lexie: It doesn't matter. The point is now you
know too much.

Brandon: Big deal. I know the results of a
paternity test. Glen is the Father of Hope's baby. So what?

Lexie: Brandon, there's much more at stake here.

Brandon: So why don't you fill me in?

Lexie: No. I want you to forget everything you
know. Forget it all. Otherwise you could end up a dead man.

Hope: J.T.! J.T.!

Bo: Hope, hold on.

Hope: Bo, he's here. I know it. He's just not
far.

Bo: Okay, okay, we'll look for him.

Hope: J.T.? J.T.! Mommy's here, J.T.!

John: Hey, what's up? Your lady lose something?

Barb: What?

John: This, perhaps?

Barb: Oh, yeah. How'd you get it?

John: I found it on the ground back there.

Glen: Thanks a lot. See you later.

J.T.: [Cries]

Alice: So...did you get Abby off to school?

Jack: Sure did. I took her to her class, and she
introduced me to all of her buddies. She's really popular, kind of the class
clown, just like her Dad.

Jennifer: Hope's never going to be able to do
that. She's never going to be able to see her little boy play with his buddies.
It's all because of me. God, it's all because of me.

Philip: Man, Shawn must have been really upset to
diss Mr. Woods that bad.

Chloe: Yeah, well, he really loves his little
Brother.

Philip: Yeah. Yeah, he really does. He loves his
whole family.

Chloe: Yeah, but that's how it's meant to be,
right?

Philip: So what's up with you and your Mom? Did
you get a chance to work things out at the hospital?

Chloe: Let's not ruin the moment by bringing her
up, okay?

Mr. Woods: Shawn?

Shawn-D: Is that my detention slip?

Mr. Woods: Yes. Let's forget about the slip. I
busted your chops in class. I shouldn't have embarrassed you like that.

Shawn-D: It's cool. I can take it.

Mr. Woods: Shawn, I heard about what happened to
your baby Brother. That's got to be tough. Under these locks, you'll find a
friendly person.

Belle: Mr. Woods, please don't get Shawn in
trouble. He saved my life in the elevator and then he was up the whole night.

Mr. Woods: You're a lucky guy to have such a good
person in your corner, Shawn. We were just about to powwow. Why don't you join
us, Belle? Okay, let's go.

Brandon: Forget the whole thing? I don't think
so. I don't turn my back on my friends when they're in trouble.

Lexie: Brandon, you have no idea who you're
involved with here.

Brandon: Meaning your Father, Stefano DiMera.

Lexie: Mm-hmm.

Brandon: Hey, if I help his Daughter, then he'll
owe me a favor, right?

Lexie: No. It doesn't work like that. Look, you
are being way too glib about this. My Father is a very dangerous man.

Jack: Jennifer, this isn't like you. How many
times do I have to say this? It was an accident, a tragedy to be sure, but it
was in no way your fault.

Jennifer: I was driving the car.

Jack: But you didn't blow up the bridge! And we
haven't found the baby. He could still be alive.

Jennifer: It would be a miracle if that baby
survived falling into that river.

Jack: Yes, and miracles do happen every day,
don't they? Isn't that what your Grandmother just said? You got to believe in
miracles, right? Right? No. No, you're not going to answer me, are you? You
won't hear it because you...you want to cry.

Jennifer: What? How can you say that?

Jack: I don't know, I don't know. It just seems
that all this tears and this guilt is really kind of self-indulgent.

Jennifer: Oh, that is really what I need to hear
right now, Jack.

Jack: Why don't we wait until we find the baby
before we go into grief here?

Jennifer: You know, what if this were Abby? How
would you be feeling right now, Jack?

Jennifer: I would be out there looking for her. I
wouldn't be sitting here playing God.

Jennifer: What?

Jack: You think that everybody who lives or dies
in this world has something to do with you, like you have made some decision
about it when you don't, and you had nothing to do with J.T. falling out of that
car. You didn't open the car door and say, "hey, J.T. I'm going to live, you're
going to die. Bye, now."

Jennifer: Oh, this is a fine time to be joking
about something like that!

Jack: I'm not joking about it! I'm saying it was
an act of God, not an act of Jennifer.

Jennifer: And all I知 saying if I had only stayed
home, if I would have just been here with you --

Jack: Oh, Jennifer, if only, if only -- life is
full of "if onlys." Every time something terrible happens, we all say, "if only
this, if only that, if only I had waited 10 seconds before I left the house, if
only I had left when I was supposed to, then everything would be fine, fine and
wonderful," when that is not only not the case, but it is sad, pointless, and a
waste of energy because life does not work like that. None of this was your
doing. You couldn't stop this from happening, Jennifer, and you can't let what
already happened destroy your life now.

Mr. Woods: When something heavy comes down like
what's happened with your little Brother, you need to talk to somebody about it,
Shawn. I'm here for you and so is Belle. Right, Belle?

Belle: Yeah, I am.

Mr. Woods: We don't want this eating you up
inside. We're a community here on this campus, and you're part of it. At times
like this when your family's faced with tragedy, you can turn to your community.
We're here for you, your teachers and your friends. You getting what I知 saying?

Mr. Woods: That's probably one of the best
lessons you can learn in high school, and hopefully as we mature, we become more
sensitive to each other and less prone to conflict.

Shawn-D: Yeah, I hear you.

Mr. Woods: So tell me, what's going on with your
little Brother now?

Shawn-D: Nothing. They can't find him. I mean,
they've already dragged the river, and there was absolutely no sign of him. It's
like he just disappeared.

Hope: John, there was a baby in the car? Did you
see it?

John: No. I didn't get a good look at it.

Hope: I heard a baby crying, and I know it was
J.T. He could have been in that car. What did the couple look like?

Brandon: You're saying your Father would kill me?

Lexie: I'd never let that happen.

Brandon: Meaning your Father would whack
somebody. So the rumors about him are true. He really is a cold-blooded killer.

Lexie: Let's just say my father will do whatever
is necessary to protect his family, which is why I don't want you involved in
this any further.

Brandon: I already am involved, Lexie.

Lexie: [Sighs]

Brandon: I can't just step out of the picture
when I see you're upset like this. What is it? What's going on? Let me help you.

Lexie: Brandon, it's just gotten so complicated.
Hope's baby -- well, the one that they assumed died in the fall -- is probably
alive out there somewhere, and no one knows why no one's be able to find him or
where he could be, and that couple Glen and Barb are probably going to want to
redo the DNA test. Oh, God.

Brandon: And if they redo the test, it will come
up negative because Isaac isn't Glen's son. J.T. is, or was. You're not telling
me everything, Lexie.

John: I don't know. I don't know. She was thin.
She had a ball hat on and sunglasses.

Bo: Well, about the guy, did you get a look at
him?

John: Bo, he was just a garden-variety dude. I
didn't check him out.

Hope: And the baby was in the back, but you
didn't look. We're searching for a child here, John, and you don't even look in
the back?

John: It wasn't J.T. It was their kid.

Hope: How do you know?

John: Because I know.

Bo: How about the car? Did you get the plates? We
could run a check.

John: Listen, you guys are way off base here, all
right? Just chill out.

Hope: I heard my baby crying.

John: No, you heard a baby crying.

Hope: No, it was J.T. I know it. I know what my
baby sounds like, John. You know, I would have thought you of all people would
be a little more suspicious when -- John Thomas is missing.

Bo: All right, let's calm down. We're all doing
the best we can. We're a bit tired here. John's been with us all night long
searching for him.

Hope: He could have noticed something.

Bo: I know.

Hope: Damn it.

Bo: All right, was there anything suspicious
about the couple?

Glen: That was a close call back there, huh?

Barb: Glen, this is crazy. Please turn this baby
in before we get caught and it's too late.

Glen: I'm not turning this baby over to anyone
until I have proof that he's my flesh and blood.

Barb: So what are we going to do, take him home
with us? Tell everybody we adopted him or something? Hide him in the closet?
What?

Glen: I don't know yet. The first thing we do is
get that little guy a change of diapers, some new clothes, and some food. What
do you think he wants to eat?

Barb: Oh, gosh, I don't know, chicken sandwich
maybe.

Glen: He eats baby food, Barb. Better get you a
book on kids.

Barb: Great. I can read it in my jail cell.
Please, Glen, turn him in to the cops.

Glen: No way. You're my Wife, so you're going to
do what I say, got it?

Barb: What are you going to do, hit me over the
head with a club? You may look like Tarzan, but ain't dragging me around by the
hair, okay? Now we're going to do what I feel is right. We're taking him to the
cops now.

Glen: Forget about it.

J.T.: [Crying]

Philip: I know how your Mom really upset you when
she brought up that whole rape thing.

Chloe: And you're just dying to bring that up
again, aren't you?

Philip: Hey. Look, I had a great time last night,
okay? Staying up till dawn, dancing by the river -- I don't want to spoil that.

Chloe: Well, you've obviously still got some
feelings about it.

Philip: Well, to tell you the truth, Chloe, you
never exactly did tell me why you did it, why you said I did it.

Chloe: I told you everything. I was hurt by your
lies, and when Nancy prodded me, it just came out. I never meant for anything
bad to happen to you.

Philip: I believe that, but, look, my Father
doesn't.

Chloe: Well, last night you said it didn't
matter, that we would run away together if he didn't accept me.

Philip: I meant it. I'm just trying to figure out
how this whole thing happened.

Chloe: I was freaked. When Nancy brought up rape,
I just said yes.

Philip: Why didn't you just say no?

Chloe: I don't know, Philip. I was angry at you
and I was embarrassed that your Father walked in on us. For God sakes, I thought
he was dead. I was in shock.

Philip: So you let your parents take you to the
hospital to get examined?

Chloe: I didn't let them do anything. I didn't
know what they were doing in the first place, and then they forced me to go
through that rape examine.

Philip: Oh, and that's when Brady saved you.

Chloe: Can we not start on him again?

Philip: Look, I'm sorry, okay? Hey, I知 glad you
shared all this with me, okay? I thought you accused me of rape to get back at
me, and then you got caught when you had to get examined.

Chloe: Philip, how could you say that? How could
you think that I would do something so spiteful and manipulative?

Philip: Hey, people do mean things when they're
mad. I know I do.

Chloe: Well, I didn't do that, Philip. I would
never falsely accuse you out of spite. Look, I know I have my faults, but I'm
not that kind of person.

Philip: Hey, I believe you, Chloe. Okay? I know
you have a good heart. That's why I love you. I Hope you can forgive me for
thinking that you did that.

Mr. Woods: I know they're going to find your
little Brother, Shawn. I just have a feeling about it. Everything's going to
work out as it should.

Shawn-D: Well, I just can't imagine my life
without my little Bro. I mean, he's already been through so much, you know? But
he's tough. He's tough. You can't keep him down. He's the best little guy ever.

Mr. Woods: Hey, I have an idea. I'll put out an
announcement that everybody should keep their eyes open for J.T. We'll get
everybody on this campus looking for him.

Shawn-D: Mr. Woods, that would be so great.

Mr. Woods: Hey, man, I'm on it.

Belle: Shawn, are you okay?

Shawn-D: Yeah, I should probably go find Mom and
Dad. I should never have come to school today.

Belle: You should be with your parents.

Shawn-D: Yeah, I should. I should be out there
screaming J.T.'s name, even though he probably couldn't respond because he's so
little, helpless.

Shawn-D: You know, he's got to be alive.

Belle: We're going to keep praying for him, okay,
Shawn?

Shawn-D: Thanks for being there for me last
night.

Belle: I know you would be there for me.

Shawn-D: How could he just disappear into thin
air like this?

Belle: Shawn, what if someone took him?

Jack: Can you get inside your grief enough to see
that what I'm saying is true?

Jennifer: I think so. It was an accident. It was
an accident, Jack.

Jack: Are you saying that I知 right? That's a
first.

Jennifer: But it's true. I mean, I didn't want it
to happen, but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't...

Jack: I know, I know. You want to blame yourself.
That's only natural. I started to do the same thing. I started to beat myself up
because I said, "why couldn't I grab that baby? Why didn't I get there sooner?
Why didn't I find something to tie the car down and then grab the baby?"

Jack: We did the best we could in the time we had
in a life and death situation. You have to know that, Jennifer.

John: Hope, I understand how upset you are about
this.

Hope: Just tell me if you have a clue as to who
those people might be. Like the fire chief said, there is only one possibility
-- someone took him.

John: Nothing stood out, nothing. I didn't get a
name or a license plate number. I wasn't thinking about them. I was thinking
about finding J.T.

Hope: He was here, John. I'm telling you, he was
right here.

Bo: All right, all right, let's calm down. Let's
calm down. You know what? Let's go talk to Jennifer. Maybe she can fill in some
of the facts.

John: I'm sure she's pretty beaten up over this.
Have you talked to her yet?

Hope: I never should have let her baby-sit. I
never should have said it was okay for her to leave the house with the baby, Bo.

Bo: Hope, you couldn't have known something like
this was going to happen.

Hope: I know. I should have known. Jennifer
hasn't been herself lately, Bo. She's been angry, she's been moody, worried
about her future, back and forth about everything in her life. Damn it. You know
what? I wish she'd never come back to Salem.

Lexie: Uh, before I get into my story, there's
something I have to ask you. Security being as strong as it is at the hospital,
do you think there's any possible way for two babies to get switched at birth?

Brandon: What do you mean switched?

Lexie: Well, that's what happened. Marlo's baby,
the baby I was supposed to adopt, was switched with Hope's baby.

Brandon: You're saying that Isaac...

Lexie: Is Hope's biological Son.

Chloe: Philip, you don't have to apologize for
anything. We both messed up. You shouldn't have lied and I shouldn't have gotten
freaked out and let Nancy push me like that. So let's just forget about it,
okay?

Philip: Come here. I love you so much.

Mr. Woods: Hey, hey. I've told you, no PDA痴 in
the hallways.

Philip: Mr. Woods, we were just hugging.

Mr. Woods: Rules are rules, although we do bend
them from time to time. Right, Miss Lane?

Chloe: Right, Mr. Woods. I'm sorry, sir.

Mr. Woods: Okay.

Philip: That was so uncool for him to do.

Chloe: No, actually, Mr. Woods is really cool. He
stood up for me in front of principal Cohen, and if I get in trouble again, it's
his responsibility.

Philip: Yeah, he stood up for you right after he
sent you to Cohen himself. And what's wrong with two people publicly displaying
their affection if they love each other?

Chloe: Philip, there's something else that we
need to talk about -- your Father and what he said about our future.

Philip: What did he say?

Chloe: Well, the thing is I want to go to music
school in new York.

Philip: Yeah, and I said I was going to follow
you there. What's going on, Chloe? You want me to go, don't you? I mean, you
want to stay together, right?

Shawn-D: You think somebody took J.T.? Hold on.
What do you mean? Why would someone do that?

Belle: I did this report, Shawn. I probably
shouldn't tell you about it.

Shawn-D: No, no, no, no. Tell me.

Belle: Kids are taken all the time -- kidnapped,
I mean -- over 30,000 children in this country alone in one year.

Shawn-D: Are you serious?

Belle: I was shocked, too. Sometimes it's a
family friend or a babysitter, or sometimes it's a relative or a neighbor.
Sometimes it's a complete stranger whose kid maybe died, and they're so crazy
with grief that they take someone else's.

Shawn-D: This could be it, Belle. You could be
right.

Belle: I'm sure your Dad and the police
department will have an announcement out any minute.

Shawn-D: You're the best. You gave me Hope.
That's all I needed. Come here.

Brandon: You're saying the babies got switched at
birth? That would be very tough to do. I mean, the nurses put the I.D. tags on
the babies' wrists right after birth.

Lexie: No, not right after birth, after the
babies have been cleaned and weighed and measured. Before that, there's a window
of opportunity for a switch.

Brandon: Someone would have to be very slick and
very fast.

Lexie: Or make a mistake. There were four babies
born that night. A nurse could have slipped up and mixed up the tags.

Brandon: Lexie, you are talking about a child,
not a pair of pants. A nurse isn't going to screw up like that.

Lexie: Well, trust me. It happens. The point is,
I have Hope's baby and Hope has been raising Marlo's baby.

Brandon: Yeah, well, I guess it figures. That's
why J.T.'s DNA matched Glen's. J.T. is the son of Glen and Marlo.

Brandon: I tried to tell you that the other night
in the park. Why didn't you just open this up with me then?

Lexie: Don't ask.

Brandon: There you go again with the secrets.
This should just tell you that it's all going to come out anyways. You have to
tell Hope the truth, Lexie, and you have to give her back her baby.

Jennifer: Just -- I have to confess something to
you, Jack. I...I feel like a coward. The thought of facing Bo and Hope -- it
scares me half to death.

Jack: Why? Why? You don't think they understand
what we just talked about -- that accidents do happen? And you were in terrible
pain, too. You have to have a little more faith in your Cousin and -- and the
other people who care about you.

Jennifer: Do you really think that she'll ever be
able to forgive me, Jack?

Jack: She loves you. She knows what a kind and
compassionate person you are. Of course she's going to forgive you.

Jennifer: But she loved that baby so much, Jack,
and she may never see him again. And I-I just feel like every time she looks at
me, she's going to be reminded of that, and every time I look in her eyes, I am
going to see that baby. I'm going to see him falling, and that I couldn't do
anything about it. I couldn't save him.

Jack: I know. There's so much pain, and it's so
deep and fresh right now. But you got to -- you got to pull yourself together
'cause you're not going to be able to help anybody in this state.

Jennifer: What do you mean?

Jack: Hope needs you. She needs you to help her
find that baby. Most of all, she needs your love and support.
